Networking :: Wireless profiles for different locations?
You could just check what wlcardconfig does in each location, and then make a script of those..I never managed to get connected at the office, using wlcardconfig or iwconfig.. So I "cheat" and plug into the nearest cable I can find. I talked to the admin, and he's always thought it was odd that the name and key consist of multiple words - but isn't sure he wants to deal with a week of people complaining that the network is down because they didn't read the email about changed key Sounds like it might be using WPA.

No, it's definitely WEP, I've asked the admin and it works fine on my mac. A unix-literate friend of mine suggested I should try escaping the spaces in between the words in the ESSID and pass-phrase. I'll give that a try today.
PS - I added the script from iwconfig to my other script, and now have a nice script that seems to work every time to get my home connection up. Thanks

You can generate a WEP key from a passphrase but iwconfig doesn't support this option.
